Can anyone here suggest a good way to learn how to ride switch? I started snowboarding riding regular, but eventually turned goofy. Now I can't ride regular at all...

For me, I had to dedicate full runs riding switch. The more you do it, the better you'll get at it. Some people have told me to strap in switch, but I don't want to look like a completely noob getting off the chair. It was really hard for me at first, but then you just get more comfortable.

^^ ride switch when you're going out with your newbie friends who are still learning to ride, Its all practice for me and adjusting a long the way. more lean, less lean. get comfortable on those greens riding your switch.

I need to practice riding switch just so i am more comfortable landing switch. Whenever i do a spin and land switch I quickly switch back to regular cause I'm not comfortable. But it looks whack doing that.

dont you think that we should create a post where starts firstly from the easiest things to improve in the snowboarding¿?

I mean in order to make a good progression in freestyle riding, start creating a post where will be posts regarding the first steps that whould be done in freestyle snowboarding... starting from basic positioon, ollies, nollies, switch riding...

who wants to create with me that progression guide¿? fromthe easiest to the most difficult tricks...

I wish I found out about this forum before I first starting snowboarding. Maybe I wouldn't have gotten hurt as much, since the person who was teaching me the basics only went boarding for like 2 times...

That's the same thing that happened to me. I didn't find this forum until after I've gone snowboarding for a couple of months. I always fell and hurt myself when I first started snowboarding.

Sounds like a great idea to give a general idea of what would be easier to learn and improve on or progress with. Everyone is going to progress differently find some things easier to do than others, Its a start tho. Adds to the video that we alrdy have access to.

No. You just need to practice it a little.
For me, learning to ride goofy was easier to learn than being a fresh new beginner and riding regular.
because you already know how to stop and turn regular. Apply the same technique when riding goofy

If you're ever around Lake Tahoe, there's some good learn to board deals - lift ticket, rental, and lesson. I don't think they have the dates up yet but you can probably check back on this site in 2 weeks or so.

I'm still learning riding switch. Such a badass noob falling all over the place. I find it easier when I angle my binding +15/-10 (i'm regular) But that's just me. Try a different stance and see how you like it. Also, I'm thinking about getting the Burton Process that has "channel" binding inserts which allow you to easily adjust your biding length and angle. hope that helps.
